How Emerging Telehealth Models Challenge Policymaking
By: Mitchell Tang, Michael E Chernew and Ateev Mehrotra
Abstract
Policy Points
Current telehealth policy discussions are focused on synchronous video and audio telehealth visits delivered by traditional providers and have neglected the growing number of alternative telehealth offerings.
These alternative telehealth offerings range from simply supporting traditional brick-and-mortar providers to telehealth-only companies that directly compete with them.
We describe policy challenges across this range of alternative telehealth offerings in terms of using the appropriate payment model, determining the payment amount, and ensuring the quality of care.
